Chapter Seventy Nine! I hope you guys like this one!
Monday Night Raw: May 19, 2014/ Tuesday:May 20, 2014 / Thursday: May: 22, 2014
"Ok, ok…" Brad groaned from the floor. "I'll make you guys guest commutators." He said putting his hands up like he was surrendering.
Dean got off the man and brought the man's phone to his face. "Make it official." He ordered.
Angel felt a small bit of guilt hit her as Brad cracked open his eyes and grabbed the thing. Dean and Roman had beaten the guy up pretty bad, while Seth and her cheered them on. But she knew this was the only way to get what they wanted. Threatening didn't work with the Authority, but brute strength did.
Brad brought the phone to his ear. "Hi, Hank." She could make out the man's voice on the other side. "Um, you know the Seth vs Batista match that's happening tonight. Yeah that one." Brad glanced around at the man hoovering over him. "Well we're going to have a few official guest commentators. Yeah, the Shield. All of them. Yep. Make it happen, bye." He hung up the phone. "You happy."
Roman sauntered up to him and grabbed him by the collar. "Ecstatic."
…
By the time it was time for them to head up to the top entrance for Seth's match, Angel was listening to the show through Dean' headphones which she stole from his bag. She could hear a strange interview with Renee, the Usos and John Cena.
When it turned into a promo with Evolution, she slowed. She tired her hardest to listen to what was going on.
"If these guys think that's all we got for them then they are dumber then I thought. This is just the beginning." She heard Hunter say with a chuckle in his voice. It was the same old same old. That they were going to take apart the Shield one at a time. Starting with Seth tonight. Which was the same thing they said last time.
At the end of it she heard Batista say. "Yeah, I got it. And I'm going to do it all by myself."
I knew it. The way the words came from his mouth said that Hunter and Randy were going to be part of his match somehow some way. Making her a bit happier that Brad's beatdown.
"You alright over here?"
She looked up to see that Dean had slowed down to walk beside her. "You're falling behind?"
"Sorry." She said as she removed the earbud. "Evolution just had a promo. She said digging out her phone and turning off the live broadcasting of the show.
"Yeah and what'd they say?" He asked as he eyed up his headphones.
"Same thing as always, their going to take you guys apart one at a time. Oh, and Batista gave a hint that Hunter and Randy are coming down for the match."
Dean nodded. "You better take care of those; they are my only pair."
"If they get broken, I'll by you new ones." She said as she put both of her phone and his headphones into her pocket of the cargo pants she picked to wear tonight.
"How are we doing this?" Roman asked. "Seth's being sent out first, do we go down with him?"
"Nah." Dean smirked. "We wait, to see what Hunter and Randy do before we come down. Make them think they got a one up on us."
"What makes you think that they don't already know?" Angel asked. "Surly Brad told them what went down." She looked up at Dean who's smirk grew. "What did you do?"
"I would say due to the state we left him in it would be a little hard to send the message out without his phone." She watched as he dug through his pocket and pulled out cell phone she didn't quite recognize.
"You didn't?" She gasped as Roman gave him a pat on the back before turning towards Seth. "You ready man?"
Seth's eyes darted up from the floor. "Always." He answered just as the Shield's theme song played. Each of them gave them a wish of good luck and he made his way out into the crowd.
It wasn't long after Seth left when Triple H's theme song started to play.
"Here we go." Roman sighed as he leaned into the doorway slightly to listen to what was going on.
"Now ladies and Gentlemen please welcome, your special guest ring announcer Triple H."
"There it is." Dean sighed as he punched his tapped-up hands together.
"Now I am the special guest ring announcer but as COO of WWE it is my job to make sure that all these matches are as big as possible." Hunters voice rang out. "That is why right now I'm adding a special guest timekeeper to the match, as well. Please help me welcome him now…."
"Randy Orton." Angel said at the same time as Hunter did. She took a deep breath as Randy's theme started to play. Evolution had played right into their hands. They had shown their cards way early in the show and now the Shield was ready to pull a few aces from their pockets.
"And now please everyone help me welcome, your opponent. Representing Evolution the Animal, Batista!"
"Hold." Roman put his hand out stopping Dean from ruining their plan. They knew that if Seth needed them, he would make some sort of cue.
Come on Seth. Angel prayed they hadn't already started the beatdown. There wasn't any noises or indications but that didn't mean that….
"You know, I got some special guests of my own to make this match as big as possible!" Seth's voice rang out. "So let me introduce to you, the special guest commentators, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Angel Miles!"
Their music started up once more as the crowd starting cheering. Stepping out into the crowd, Angel looked around to see Batista, Randy, and Hunter freaking out as they walked down the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs, Dean stopped and helped her over with a warning to stay close to him. Making sure to stay close enough to be safe but not so close that if something were to break out, she would be in the way Angel followed the two men up to where all there men of Evolution were staring them down.
"Come on guys, we got to get this show on the road." Dean taunted. "We all go jobs to do out here, why don't we just get it done." When no one moved, he threw his arm around her and pushed her towards the table.
"Dean and Angel are joining us." She heard Cole say as he handed them headsets. "Welcome, You two."
"Thanks for having us."
"Hey guys, how are you?" Dean said into his mic as the bell rang for the match to start. "Ok Randy does know how to do his job, at least he can do something well." He smirked. "Guys were just hear to add our expertise, and our verbal wit and charm to this broadcast."
"Yeah but your supposed to be official." JBL yelled at them.
"We are." She said proudly as she tried to ignore Dean smack talking Randy.
"You're not going to come over here and do your job?" He asked the man who was walking away. "You're supposed to be the timekeeper." He shook his head in disappointment. "I think he's a little scared to come over here."
"I do too." She nodded.
"We have some guests out here." Lawler said as he gave her a smile.
"Hi." She smiled back.
"What are you doing out here?" JBL asked her clearly annoyed.
"As Dean said, we're out here to add our charm to the broadcast." She answered as if it was obvious. "That's all."
"Unless, Evolution get involved in this and get in the way of Seth knocking off Batista of Evolution." Dean threatened even though Hunter and Randy couldn't hear them.
Angel tired her hardest to actually watch the match that was unfolding in front of her as Seth took a clothesline from Batista but everyone's voices were making that pretty hard to do.
"The match is underway between the Animal and Seth Rollins. We've been joined by the official guest…"
"Wait a minute they're not official." JBL Spoke up.
"I told you were are." Angel sighed.
"How are you guys official?" He glanced up at her before turning back towards the action.
"Hey, how about you go ask Brad Maddox if we're official guest commutators tonight, he's in the trainers' room right now." Dean smirked over at Roman. "Right Roman?"
"Brad Maddox is the one who made you guys official."
"The Raw General manager." Both Cole and Dean said at the same time.
"Hey JBL if you're not comfortable with us being…" Dean trailed off as Seth started to lay in on Batista in the corner. "Go Seth Go!" He cheered.
"I thought a commentator is supposed to be unbiased?" JBL sighed.
"Since when?" She blinked at him. He was the most unbiased person on the panel.
"If you're uncomfortable with us being out here…"
"No I'm not uncomfortable…"
"…You can just get up and leave…"
"Why is Brad in the trainers' room…"
"I understand you don't want to be out shined." JBL and Dean fought to talk over each other. Which with Dean's loud and raspy voice, he ended up winning. "Speaking of being outshined, Seth Rollins in the ring with Batista right now…"
Just as he said it, Batista pulled Seth through the bottom rope and dragged him over to the barricade where he smashed his head onto the top of it.
"Why is Brad in the trainers' room?" JBL asked again.
"Because I put him there." Roman finally spoke up making her jump slightly.
"There's your answer." Cole sighed.
Dean chuckled as he leaned against her. "You asked the question that you already knew the answer." He sang making her look away from Seth who was rolling back into the ring.
"Is this after he made you official commentators?" JBL asked.
"Keep up with the story, JBL."
"You ask a lot of questions." Roman said again his voice low.
Batista put Seth up on his shoulders for what looked like a powerslam.
"Come on flip out of there." Dean said just as Seth did indeed flip out of the hold before landing a Enziguri
"There you go!" She clapped as she tired to push against Dean's weight.
"We're going to commercial here." Said a voice in the headset.
"Stay with us!" Dean called just as the lights dimmed ever so slightly.
"You should be on here all the time." Angel laughed as she looked up at the man who was chomping on the piece of gum that was in his mouth. She wondered if the mics were picking that up. If they were…sorry.
"You think?" He smiled down at her, those baby blues bounced between her and what was going on in the ring.
For shit and giggles, she looked the man up and down and nodded. "I think so. You look good like that." He did indeed look good, he was wearing his Shield gear which was sexy on him as it was but sometime during the night, his hoodie vest came undone again and there was just something about it being open showing off his normal black tank under really did it for her.
"Hey! Quit flirting it's gross." JBL yelled.
"Yeah." Roman chuckled. "You know we all can hear you. Do you want those watching at home to hear you?"
Angel blushed as the lights came back up.
"And we're back on Monday Night Raw with Seth Rollins one on one with Batista. Triple H has made himself special guest ring announcer tonight, Randy Orton special guest timekeeper. Yet we got special guest…."
Michael Cole's voice went away as Batista threw Seth into the steel steps across the way. The man flipped up and over the steps, landing hard on his back. She hissed and tensed to go check on the poor man, when Dean grabbed her and held her back.
"Is he alright? Can you see him?" Roman asked through the mics.
Dean leaned over the German announce table a little bit. "Yeah, he'll be alright."
"And apparently Brad Maddox is the one whose now in the training room, who made these guys the special guest commentator."
"You're so concerned about Brad Maddox that maybe you should go back and check on him JBL." Lawler sighed.
"That would be nice." Cole nodded.
"It would be." Angel said almost absentmindedly as she watched Batista pick Seth up only to smack his head off the steps. "Make sure he's doing ok?"
"You talking about Seth or Brad at this point?" Dean asked.
"Oh um. Brad. I think that it would be nice it JBL left to go check on him." She answered.
"Seth Rollins is going to get back into this fight." Dean said as Seth crawled his way into the ring. "Batista calls himself the Animal but let me tell you, we are all animals, the Shield. We are wild animals, we are the Hounds of Justice."
Batista hung Seth up on the top rope, choking him slightly. While Seth sat there on the apron, Cole started to talk about their match at Payback, like they didn't already know all the stipulations of it. Then almost out of nowhere, Batista hit Seth with a baseball style slide kick that knocked him back to the floor.
"Come on Seth." Angel gritted through her teeth. She didn't like how much time Seth was spending on the floor.
"Yeah anything goes at Payback this time. And this time we're going to finish what we started." Dean answered as Hunter and Randy made their way over towards where Seth was trying to get himself back up to his feet. "Hey, you're getting a little too close for comfort there, Triple H." Dean yelled into the mic as he started to pace in small steps.
Batista went for the pin but Seth kicked out at one. "There you go, Seth!"
"Seth is just like every member of the Shield, you can dish out as much punishment as you can possible give, we go down, but we don't stay down."
As the headlock that Batista had on Seth changed to a sleeper hold submission move, Angel found herself clenching her fists. Get out of there. She willed Seth on in her mind. Get out.
"Seth Rollins ain't going stay down tonight." Dean said as she felt something rub her back. She glanced back to see that he had stepped in closer to her, to the point that his chest was touching her back as he swayed. "You owe him one Seth!"
"And Batista looking to wear out Seth Rollins…." Cole started his normal commutator speech telling. "Couple of weeks ago Batista took out Rollins, Rollins though was less then a hundred percent that night."
"I think we're all a little banged up." Dean sighed. "You know we uh, we took one on the chin from Evolution a few weeks back but like I said you can put us down, but we'll just keep coming back up."
"Well Batista is looking to take out Rollins tonight and give the advantage to Evolution as we look towards Payback, in a couple of weeks."
"You guys going to be a hundred percent at Payback?" JBL asked
"JBL I'm a hundred percent every day of the week, alright?" Dean answered, making Angel bit her tongue. Part of her wanted to call him out on being 'A hundred percent' any day of the week, but she felt like doing it on commenarty would be a bad thing. "Romans Regins is hundred percent every day of the week, look at that eye. Look at that eye, nine stitches is that the best you all got? Roman's mother hit him harder than that when he was younger."
Roman laughed. "That's a true story."
"Nine stitches, that's all. I want you to count how many stitches we give Evolution by the end of Payback…" Dean was sure running his mouth. "At least nine a piece which would be twenty-seven."
"May have just started right there." Roman comments as Seth got out of the sleeper hold by working his way up to his feet before dropping back down to the mat, making Batista hit his chin off the top of his head.
"I don't know about stitches but that's going to hurt in the morning." She chimed in as Seth got back to his feet with two brutal chops.
"Chop him down!" Dean yelled.
Seth raced back and forth on the mat, until running right into a huge clothesline that sent him reeling through the air on down face first on the mat. Smartly Batista coved Seth.
"Come on."
"Kick."
Angel heard both Dean and Roman mumble under their breaths as they watched their friend. Count of two, almost three Seth kicked out.
Angel clapped her hands and cheered for the man in the ring before she was yanked behind Dean. "You got something to say?" He asked though I wasn't to anyone wearing one of the heads. "I can't hear you because I'm on the headset. I can't hear you because I'm on the headset doing my job!"
Peeking her head around the man in front of her, Angel saw Hunter standing not to far away rolling his eyes.
A powerful Irish Whip had Seth plowing into the turnbuckle across the way, right next to were Hunter was. A smirk appeared on his face as he walked up to the apron and leaned in. From where she was standing, she could tell he was saying something, could see his mouth moving. But she couldn't make out what it was.
Though for some reason it hit her as wrong. She wanted to run over there and pull Seth away. Like Hunter's words were hurting the man more then Batista's punches.
"Talk all the trash you want Hunter!" Dean's voice dropped down low and even though she knew he wasn't threatening her. There was something so chilling about having's Dean voice in her ears like this. "Talk, talk, talk, talk. Talk about how you're going to humble us, talk about how your going to teach us a lesson, Hunter. And see if it get's done at Payback because it ain't"
Pulling the mic away from her face she turned towards Dean. "Something isn't right."
He drew his brows together and shook his head. "He's got this."
"That's not what…."
Dean's eyes snapped away from her to what was going on in the ring. "Things could get ugly. Batista put Seth up on the top rope. Seth Rollins is very comfortable on the top rope. Believe me."
"It might be uncomfortable if somehow Batista wins this match, what are you going to do then?" Lawler asked.
"We'll do what we have to do." Angel gritted her teeth together as she watched Batista and Seth fight for control on the top rope.
"He's got this."
"What does that mean?" JBL asked. "What are you going to do if Batista wins?"
"You win some, you lose some." Dean shrugged. "But I don't think we're going to lose tonight."
"AND ROLLINS!" Cole shouted as Seth jumped from the ropes and hit Batista with a neck breaker.
"Oh, he's in it." Roman nodded. "Game changer right there."
"That it was." Lawler agreed. "You can see the look of concern on the face of Triple H all of a sudden."
"Dynamic offence from Seth Rollins. Slipping off the second rope with a neck breaker. I don't think Batista has seen that move in his life." Dean started to rep Seth. "We've got a lot of stuff that Evolution has never seen in their big long careers with all their championships. We're going to show them at Payback."
"Here comes something else." Lawler called as Seth went running at Batista only to run right into a boot to the face.
"Ouch." She hissed out.
"They got experience, they got savvy, they pull out things like that." Dean nodded. "Seth Rollins a little over aggressive there, but you know what, WE'VE OVER AGREESSIVE TYPES OF PEOPLE!" Everyone wearing headsets cringed at Dean's loudness.
"You're telling me." Angel sighed making Dean smirk at her.
A kick in the face and a sling blade and Angel found herself as close to the ring as the headset would allow her cheering for Seth to pin Batista. Though instead of pinning him, Seth went for more punishment as both men crawled to their feet.
"Come on buddy." Dean clapped his hands as Seth hit the Animal with two corner splashes, only to be caught up in what looked like a German Suplex. However, Seth flipped himself over and landed on his feet.
"Like a cat." As Dean said.
Before drop kicking Batista out of the ring and onto the floor.
"Come on Seth, keep it going buddy!" Roman cheered.
"Seth Rollins is about to go high risk and when Seth goes high risk…" Dean said as Seth send himself flying through the ropes at Batista. "…it is high risk."
Angel bit her lip as she looked at both men laying on the floor, holding random parts of their bodies. In her ears she could hear Roman and Dean beaming about their teammates talents and guts. But she was more worried about the way they hit the barricade.
Though in time, Seth does slowly make his way to his feet.
"They ain't going to touch you." Dean said as Seth stared down Hunter and Randy. "They ain't going to touch you."
"I wouldn't have that much faith in them Dean." Lawler said just as Randy came running around the ring to stop Seth who had already thrown Batista back into the ring. On the apron, Seth jumped over the attack and the air around her moved in a rush as Dean pulled her once again behind him.
"HEY!" He barked as Seth turned towards Randy who had his hands up like he didn't do anything.
"Hey he didn't do anything." JBL defended Randy.
Quickly Randy backed away as Seth pointed out that Dean and Roman were standing there watching his back. "Real smart, Randy real smart."
The sounds of headsets hitting the table made Angel look up to see Dean and Roman walking away from where she stood.
"He's in for it now." She sighed as she leaned against the table. "One thing you don't do and that's tick off Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns." She watched as the two men walked around the ring.
In the ring, Batista planted Seth with a spine buster. And the crowd suddenly started to chant 'Boo-tista.' Angel could see the anger that filled Batista's face as he took off out of the corner to hit Seth with a Spear. Only for Seth to meet him in the middle with a kick to the head.
Seth bounced back to his feet and used the ropes to plant him with a knee. A pin and a kick out a two and a half.
Batista was down flat.
"Come one Seth!" She cried as he rushed back to the ropes. He jumped up to the top one with ease, only to be pushed off by Hunter. "What!" Her eye widened as she searched for the ref in all this. Her heart sank when she saw him fighting with Randy Orton on the far side. He didn't notice that interference that happened behind him and if the ref doesn't see it, it didn't happen.
However, Hunter's actions didn't go unpunished for long as Dean came flying around the ring and started to hit Hunter with everything he had, that was until Randy grabbed him. As Dean went flying over the German announce table, Angel abandoned the headset and raced towards him.
She could hear people screaming and cheering as she moved the wires and junk from around Dean's body. "You ok?"
"Just peachy, darling." He grumbled as he cracked his jaw. "Play by play please."
Nodding, Angel peeked up over the table to see Roman and Randy going at it. "Roman and Randy are fighting. Seth's still down in the ring. Roman pushed Randy by the timekeeper's area."
"Orton's got a chair!" She heard someone yell as Roman hunched over and grabbed his stomach.
"Oh god!" She gasped.
"What?" Dean said tried to get to his feet faster. Angel watched in horror as the metal chair came down on Roman's back, knocking him to the floor. "Angel!"
"Randy's got a chair!"
"Shit."
Dean practically jumped to his feet, his head swirling around until he saw Randy who seemed to be looking for something in the timekeeper's area. Quicker than a man who was just thrown over a table should move, Dean hopped up onto the announce table and raced across, leaping at Randy.
Though before Dean could do anything else, Hunter ripped him over the barricade. Dean caught himself before he went face first into the floor, only to be thrown right into the steel pole of the ring.
Angel's heart leaped in her chest as she watched Dean fall, his eyes glazed over. The chaos started to flow through the arena that chanted 'This is awesome.' Just as Hunter caught Seth with a right hook ending the match.
D.D.D.
Dean heard the bell ring inside of his spinning head. That hit to the steel pole really sent him into a fog. One that he couldn't shake until he felt himself getting picked up. He tried to his hardest to figure out what move he was being set up with, only to realize that it was a Pedigree as his arms were lifted up behind him.
"Let him go!" He heard a familiar voice command as the move was paused for a bit. The pause was all he needed. Using everything he could, Dean reversed the move by sending his attack who he guessed was Hunter up and over his back.
Not even stopping to check on the crunching noise he heard behind him, Dean raced off to help Seth who was still in the ring with Batista. Being that he was still wobbly on his feet from his head being all jacked up, Batista was able to make it to the ropes before he did and hit him with a forearm to the face.
Dean cursed as his body came crashing down on the floor. Giving his head a shake, he looked up to see Roman Spearing Batista before walking over to pick Seth up. Quickly while everyone was down, Dean made his way into the ring.
His mind clearing but now racing with everything that he wanted to do to Evolution at Payback. All the pain, all the hurt he was going to inflict on them…It was enough to get his blood pumping and his heart racing.
"Batista get's it." Seth growled as they high fived.
Not needing another word from his brother, Dean raced over to grab the Hollywood star off the mat only to see Hunter making his way up onto the apron.
"Oh no you don't." He took off running, throwing his body into the air at last second for a drop kick. However, by the time he had turned back, Batista was out of their reach, being pulled out of the ring by Randy.
"Just fucking run away." He growled as he turned his stare back at Hunter who was now being led around the ring by the ref. "Run away!" He called after the man as he gestured for Angel to come join them in the ring.
He watched her closely as she slid into the ring, her hazel eyes were dotted with tears as she stood up to face him. His chest swelled as he grabbed her and pulled her into him, making her join him for his erratic pacing.
Her tears added to the fire that burned inside him. Now he didn't want to wait until Payback to get his hands on them. Oh, but at Payback it wasn't just going to be his hands. Anything goes bastards, you're shit out of luck.
He would remind them why he was the king of the Death Match.
A.A.A
"Angel were the hell are we?" Dean asked as he looked around.
Angel smiled as she pulled her little backpack purse around and grabbed out the two water bottles she had hidden in it. "It's called Rivelin Valley Nature Trail." She handed him one of the bottles.
"Ok? Now why are we here?"
Angel sighed. After last night at Monday Night Raw, Dean had been on edge. Or last least more on edge then he had been this entire tour. She didn't know what was going on in that brain of his but knew that it wasn't good.
He had closed down a pub last night and got up before the sun this morning to start a brutal work out. Then on the almost three-hour bus ride to Sheffield, he could barley sit still. She was wondering how he didn't tire himself out with all the bouncing and twitching.
Not able to take a nap like she normally did, she started looking up things to do in Sheffield and this trail caught her eye. It was a lovely walking trail that seemed just what the doctor order, or at least she hoped.
"I thought you liked nature." She answered him as she started in onto the trail.
"I do."
"Well then shut up and walk with me."
With a small huff he did what she told him.
Once they got off the tour bus, she pulled Dean away from Roman and Seth who were more then happy to be get rid of his grumpy ass for a bit and they got into a cab and came here. Now she just hoped that he would relax a little bit. She had seen the way he seemed at ease when in nature back in Nevada and just wanted to give him one of that today.
Which at first seemed liked a pipe dream as she heard Dean grumble to himself and throw his arm out an overgrown bush like it had attacked him and when a group of joggers made a huge b-line around him. But then when they got to the first bridge of the trail; he stopped, leaned on stone wall.
Her eyes went wide as she looked up at him. He looked almost like a different man as he watched the way the water under them flowed. Those harsh lines that had been on his face eased and his eyes were soft and bright.
"What are you looking at?" She asked trying to hide the overjoyed smile on her face.
Dean nodded towards the water. "Just some ducks."
Looking over the wall, she saw a group of five ducks all swimming around. "Awe, there cute." Angel smiled as she pulled out her phone and took a picture of two of the ducks were flapping their wings slightly.
Suddenly a heavy weight wrapped around her, pressing her harder into the stone wall. She laughed as she pushed against him. "Dean."
"Sorry am I squishing you?"
"A little bit." She grunted.
He chuckled as he pulled both of them away from the wall. They started down the trail again. As they walked she noticed that Dean was putting more and more weight on her until she was half bent over.
"Is something wrong?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, I have a two hundred pound mass on back." She ground.
"I'm two hundred pound and twenty five pounds. And not all of it is on you."
"Shut up and get off."
He snickered and eased up. "You didn't say that the other night."
"Dean!" She gasped as she stood straight up and swung her arms around trying to hit him.
Dean jumped away. "What."
"We're in public."
"We are."
She rolls her eyes as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders again. She heard him mumble something into her hair as he pulled her closer.
"What was that?"
"Thank you." He said a bit louder.
"Why?" She looked up at him.
"I know you brought me here to try and calm me down."
"Is it working?"
He smirked as he gave her head a kiss. "Maybe."
Feeling a bit giddy that her plan was really working, Angel looked around and her eyes widened. "This is it!" She said pulling out of Dean's arms and rushing up to the stream that was in front of them. It was the part the trail that she saw a picture of and thought that this would be prefect.
The trail turned into steppingstones that made a path over the steam.
"You're getting very excited about rocks in a stream?"
"Oh come on." She said pointing to the stream. "Look at it's so pretty."
Dean walked up behind her. "So, are we crossing?"
She went to say of course but as soon as she looked at the steps that she had to make she realized that some of them were wider than she thought they would be. Giving a shaking a nervous nod, she started across, taking very slow steps.
"What's the hold up." Dean said as suddenly she was jolted forward. A squeal came from her as she started to fall off the stone she was standing on. The only thing that kept her out of the water, was the strong arm and wrapped around her stomach.
"I'll kill you, if you drop me." She threatened.
Dean chuckled as he pulled her back up onto her feet. "I would like to see you try." She pushed against him and they both teetered. "If I go down you do too."
She pursed her lips at him which made him smirk.
By the time they got across, she was shaking. Dean was being Dean and was following every step she made making it almost impossible for her to make it across the water. All the same, he was the only thing that kept her on the stones.
"When we come back, you're going first." She told him as she took a deep breath.
"It's not my fault that you took forever."
"Well maybe if you were right behind me, I wouldn't have taken so long."
"Nah."
D.D.D.
Dean smirked down at Angel as he watched her play in the water. She had taken off her shoes and socks before rolling up her jeans before jumping into the small stream that ended their small hike.
It was a peaceful moment that he was glad to have. Peaceful hadn't been in his life all that much, so any chance he got to experience it he loved it. His mind wasn't racing, his body wasn't twitching. He was just sitting in the grass next to Angel's things watching as she slashed around.
All the other people who were on the trail looked at her funny, which he could understand it wasn't the warmest day to be playing in the water. But fuck them. She was having fun.
"Dean!" She giggled as she twisted herself around to look at him. "Come on it's not that bad." She said even her teeth chattered.
"I'm good." He shook his head.
"Awe come on!"
"Do you know how long it will take me to get these boots back on."
She rolled her eyes. "Party pooper." She sloughed her way towards land.
"You can keep playing." He told her. "Don't let me ruin your fun."
She reached down and grabbed her phone off her backpack and sighed. "It's about time to head back anyways."
"Back to the grind." He sighed as his mind seemed to switch on about all that they still had to do. A few more interviews, a couple more house shows, then the trip home before having to do Raw the next day. Then after that it was time for Smackdown and then Payback. Less then two weeks before he got to get his hands on Evolution again. God he couldn't wait to get his hands on Hunter again. Couldn't wait until he could pound Randy's face in.
Movement beside him brough him out of his mind and back to everything that was happening around him. He turned his head to see Angel had sat down next to him and was starting to put her shoes on.
There was that peaceful feeling again. All thoughts bleed out of his mind has he watched the woman beside him. She leaned back slightly and let out a deep breath.
Impulse taking over him, he reached over and pulled her into his lap. She didn't say anything as he settled her down against him, wrapping his arm around her and he rested his head on her shoulder.
"You ok?" She asked as she leaned into him.
He nodded against her before giving her a kiss on her the neck. "Just enjoying not having Seth and Roman breathing down our necks."
"I'm enjoying it too, but we really have to start getting back."
He sighed and let her go. She hopped up, turned around, and held out her hand. "Shall we."
Dean raised a brow at her hand. "I'm just going end up pulling you down."
"Try me." She challenged.
Almost instantly he grabbed her hand and pulled her right down against him. "I told you."
A.A.A.
Another day, another interview. Angel sighed as they were led through the broadcast building to get to the room that housed the radio station they going to be being interviewed for. "Here you are." The lady said as she pushed open the door and leaned her head in.
"Ah, our special guests are here! When we come back from commercial, we're going to be talking to WWE's the Shield." She heard a man in the room who she guessed what Alex Rider say.
"Alright you're good to go." The lady stepped to the side to let them through.
"Hey guys!" The man behind the desk stood up to shake their hands. "Come in. Sit down, sit down." He pointed to the seats all around the studio. "We'll get you some headphones and mics."
Quickly the radio crew ran around to get ready for when they came back from commercial.
"Welcome back!" Axel called. "I have sitting right in front of me the Shield and god they look intimidating. I understand why they are called the most dominate force in all of WWE. But not only that we have one of WWE's power couples."
Angel coughed trying to stop herself from laughing out loud.
"Welcome, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Angel Miles."
"Morning." Seth answered him.
"What's up my man."
"So, the other say we let the listeners know that you were coming in. And we told them tweet us some questions for you guys." Alex explained what was about to happen. "You ready for this?"
"Totally." Dean sniffed as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"First up, is the Shield excited for Payback?"
"Are we ready for another chance to get our hands on Evolution, oh yeah." Roman answered.
Alex snickered. "I'm been watching your feud with them for a while now and it seems like it's really heating up. Was there a moment where you just went, screw it?"
"Nah." Dean shook his head. "Not really. There wasn't a certain moment, it was more of just a constant build up of shit that's been happening."
Angel sighed. "Hey Alex, what's the rules about swearing on here?"
"Oh sh…crap." Dean went a little red faced. "Did I swear? Sorry man that's just the way I talk."
"You cool." Alex laughed. "I'm sure if anyone says anything you could just take them out."
"Right." Seth laughed.
"Next Question is from user Labinnacslove, they wrote: Question for Dean and Angel, you two are so different, I was wondering what you liked to do together?"
Angel blinked as she looked up at Dean. "Oh wow, I wasn't expecting anything for just me and Dean." She said almost without thinking about it. "What do we like doing together?"
"Well…" Dean's said with a cocky voice. "I could tell you one thing…" She glared at the man as everyone started to laugh. "What I was going to say, play pole."
"Oh yeah. That's true." Roman agreed. "These two like to tear up the pole tables when we go out."
"They are quite competitive." Seth added. "Sometimes cheating is involved."
"Next question, this one I don't have a name for, but they ask; What's your favorite part about being in the Shield?"
There was a moment of silence as everyone thought about the question.
"Working with my three best friends." Roman said. "Dean and Seth really helped me out when I came into the business and to be able to work with them every night and fight along side them. That's amazing."
"God, that's so cheesy." Dean chuckled.
"What were you going to say?" Roman gave him a small push on the shoulder.
"I was going to say….Being the most dominate three man stable in all of WWE history along side the three people who mean the most to me."
"And what I said is cheesy? You just said the same thing."
As the two bickered, Seth leaned forward. "Being able to fight wars with these guys is great. Being the top dogs in the company is an amazing feeling. There's too much to say that one part of it is my favorite."
"Alright he won for cheesiest answer."
"Just you wait." Angel stopped Dean from rewarding Seth. "My answer might just top that. Just like what they said, working along side each other is the best feeling in the world, but my favorite thing about being part of this team is the fact that the team doesn't stop when we leave the ring. A lot of teams are just together for the show because they work good together. This team stays together because we are friends. Our teamwork, our partnership doesn't end when the bell rings."
"She wins."
"Another one for Dean and Angel, oh this a long multiparter and there are all for Angel."
"Me?" Angel pointed at herself. Why would anyone have questions for just her? Her part in the Shield was the most boring. She was the manager, not the Powerhouse, Architect or the Lunatic Fringe, what did they want to know about her?
"User SilentMayhem wants to know, how is yours and Dean's relationship affected by the Shield? As well as, 'do you have any plans for the guys careers outside of the ring?"
"Alright there's a lot to unpack there." Angel tried to piece together a coherent answer. "How does being in the Shield affect mine and Dean's relationship?" She thought about it. "I'm not so sure that the Shield itself affects our relationship…"
"Other than the fact that Seth and Roman like to nose around our business." Dean quickly added in.
"Other than that, being part of the Shield isn't what I would say affects our relationship. I would say it more of the nature of the job. I mean how many people can say that their relationship when public the way ours did."
"That's true." Alex laughed. "A kiss at WrestleMania, that's surly one way to do it."
Angel heard the small groan that came from Dean. She knew that their relationship was something that he didn't like to answer questions about.
"Do you guys use a lot of social media?" Axel asked.
"Seth and I do." Roman answered. "These two don't."
Axel raised a brow and looked taken back. "You don't use social media? How is that possible in this day and age?"
"I don't know really like it." Dean stated in a matter of fact way. "I've never been the type of person that wants to see what everyone is doing all the time. I could care less what kind of diner you had or if you got a new shirt."
"And I just don't think about it. I have a Twitter…I think everyone at WWE has one but I just never think to look at it."
"Well when your relationship become pubic, you two were trending. Everyone was talking about it. Even those who didn't watch wrestling were."
"Tell us about it." Seth laughed. "Every time I looked at my feed, I saw this ones ugly mug."
"So, you say that being in the Shield really hasn't affected your relationship, right?"
"I mean it had but not in the way that people thing. If it wasn't for me joining the Shield, we wouldn't have a relationship." Angel said as she shifted in her spot.
"Oh?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, before joining, I don't think I said more then three words to Dean. And I'm pretty sure he didn't even know I excited."
"Wow, that's different then what most think."
"And what do most think?" Dean asked with a slightly annoyed tone to his voice. One that made her reach other and place a hand on his thigh.
"Most think that you two were together before Angel joined the Shield, which would explain the reason Dean came racing down to save you after what happened with Randy."
"That makes sense why you would think that but nope." Angel laughed. "He was just being a good guy."
"Alright the second part of the question was whether or not you have plans for the Shield's career outside of the ring?"
Angel shook her head. "Not as of right now. I mean I do set them up for interviews and whatnot, but nothing big. The boys are focusing on being the top dogs right now. There's too much in ring to worry about thing happening outside. Maybe someday but right now, no."
"Alright, good answer." Alex messed with some papers. "Now the next one is from user BrokeWorm3 they ask how's the most stubborn and why?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Dean who sat there in the middle with his lips pursed. After he realized that everyone was looking at him, he gave a quick look around. "What?"
"You know what." Roman gave him a pat on the back. "This man here is the most stubborn man that I've ever known. When he gets something in his head, it's easier to have the bail money ready then talk him out of it."
"God, it can be like talking to a wall every now and then." Seth sighed.
"So, we're all in agreement that the most stubborn out of all of you is Dean?" Alex tired to justify.
"Yep." Angel giggled.
"Yeah…" Dean rubbed the back of his neck.
Alex laughed. "I don't know if it's a good sign that you're not fighting against the fact or not."
"What's there to fight about?" Dean asked. "I know how I am. I know better than anyone here. Been dealing with my shit for twenty-eight years."
"We've got another question here, this one is from…SilentMayhem. Hey, haven't we already had a question from them? Yeah we have. Cheeky." Alex laughed. "Well their question is are we ever going to see Angel in the ring."
"In the ring?" Angel cocked her head. "Oh, you mean like as a dive." She chuckled at the thought. "Nope. I mean those girls worked hard for years to get where they are. I'm just a manager, they would tear though me."
"Awe, come on Angel. You wouldn't do that bad." Seth told her with a smirk on his face. "You've been getting really good at the punching bag."
"Yeah but that's a stationary object that doesn't fight back." She shook her head. "Me being a diva is a no go. Though I've always wanted to learn some of the moves."
"Oh?" Dean turned towards her. "If you want to learn something, you know you have three teachers that could help with that."
Angel blushed. "I mean it's just the same want that every fan has. To learn some of their favorite moves."
"What are some of your favorite moves?" Alex asked.
"Oh? Um I've always like DDTs especially Tornado DDTs. Oh and drop kicks."
"Tornado DDTs and drop kicks?" Alex nodded "Well I might know someone who could help you with that." He glanced over at Dean. "So how about it, Dean? You going to teach Angel some moves?"
Dean clicked his tongue. "Oh, I'll teach her some moves."
Everyone laughed before Alex moved on with the interview. However, Seth and Roman took most of the questions now because her and Dean had come preoccupied by send each other little glances.
She had heard the tone in his voice when he said that he was going to teach her some moves. Sure, he might teach her some, but they weren't going to be drop kicks or DDTs.
Skovko: Something is up with Seth huh? God, it's getting so close to that moment and I'm almost dreading it.
Katara Melody Cullen: Thank you as always!
Labinnacslove: Well he didn't take her out on a date but I hope their little moment alone was cute!
Canadice: Here's more, more, more! And i got more coming!
Guest: I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thank you for the question. If you give me a name to put for the user in the story I'll change it.
BrookeWorm3: I'm glad that you liked all this. Galina would have to be a feisty lady too keep up with Roman I would think.
